From my experience, here are a few property management companies that my clients have worked with:ERA Solutions: They have a strong presence in C-class neighborhoods.Realize Property Management: Better suited for A and B-class neighborhoods, though they do manage some C-class properties.Ohio Elite Management: Primarily focuses on B and C-class neighborhoods.

If you do it right, it’s arguably the best market to invest.Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1100-$1500 (no rent control in MI)1% rule: .9%-1.4% rule dealsCoc ROI: 5-12%Total ROI: 20-40%Cash flow: $50-$250/door (after all expenses and budgeting for maint, capex, vacancy)Appreciation: 3-10%+ (has been double digit for a decade)Location: C+, B-These numbers are based on the “sweet spot” in Metro Detroit.

Luckily we don't get many requests like you got @Christina B..

.- After closing, you can do some of the work yourself to save money, but the program doesn't allow you to pay yourself.You will want to buy a Class B property, maybe Class C+, in an area that seems to be improving.

I now live in Las Vegas but still have a B&B and real estate company down there and go back 5x per year.

Is your property in a Class A, B or C neighborhood?

@Patrick ShepWell said @Bill B. the lending wouldn't be an issue in this case as long as you meet your reinvestment requirements.

@Kris Lou Many factors go into PMC pricing:1) Locality (city/state)2) Neighborhood & Property Class (time to manage Class A < Class B < Class C < Class D)3) Property condition (slumlord properties hard to manage)4) Number of units (some economies of scale, but not as much as owners think)5) Owner expectations (some owners really want a personal assistant!)

B) Would prefer to install curtain rods now over blinds for most windows.

B) So you're going to combine unsheltered people and basic homeless?
